Biden drops out of presidential race live updates: Kamala Harris’ word salads go viral as ‘coconut tree’ memes take TikTok by storm — ‘Most election of our lifetime’

President Biden announced Sunday he is dropping out of the presidential race.

Minutes later, he endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to be his successor.

The president was facing mounting calls from within his own party to step aside after a disastrous debate performance against former President Donald Trump in June.

This is the first time an incumbent president has declined to run for re-election since Lyndon Johnson dropped out of the presidential race in 1968.
